Primary extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the lung is exceedingly rare and associated with a poor prognosis. This case report presents a patient with circumferential pulmonary ossification secondary to lung extraskeletal osteosarcoma with compressive mediastinal shift who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy that led to resolution of symptoms. This case offers an approach to the operative management of primary thoracic osteosarcoma and suggests that even patients with advanced disease may be surgical candidates, particularly for symptom relief.

Osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone tumor in young individuals, frequently metastasizes hematogenously to the lungs, necessitating pulmonary metastasectomy as a common surgical procedure. While sublobar and lobar resections are accepted approaches, pneumonectomy is considered a major intervention. In this report, we present 2 intriguing cases of patients who underwent pneumonectomy for pulmonary osteosarcoma metastases, emphasizing the challenges of careful patient selection and surgical planning.

Introduction: Children and young adults diagnosed with sarcoma often present with pulmonary metastases requiring wedge resection. It is important to balance the risk of pulmonary recurrence against the desire to limit resection of benign parenchyma. This study aims to determine the impact of resection margins on survival and recurrence among pediatric and young adult sarcoma patients.

Background: 3D cellular structures have been considered the following step in the evaluation of drugs penetration after 2D cultures since they are more physiologically representative in cancer cell biology. Here the penetration capabilities of Pt (IV)-loaded ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles in 143B osteosarcoma multicellular spheroids of different sizes is conducted by a multidimensional quantitative approach. Single cell (SC) and imaging techniques (laser ablation, LA) coupled to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are used to visualize their penetration pathways and distribution in comparison to those of cisplatin.

The combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy not only improves the therapeutic effect but also limits the side effects of drugs. Herein, a multi-responsive dual-modality bone-targeted drug delivery vehicle for the treatment of osteosarcoma was designed by utilizing alendronate sodium as a bone-targeting ligand for the targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) coated with γ-polyglutamic acid (APC@PDA/DOX NPs). The average size of spherical NPs was 140.
